This is so funny- I know exactly how you feel: Christmas seems to be hanging around my person too!! But I don’t regret the 5 chocolate want as and 4 boxes of chocolates or the 8 roast dinners within 10 days. I don’t regret that at all…!! Hehe xxx

Dawn! This had me grinning like a cheshire cat…As I sit here donning my gym kit for the first time IN FOREVER!!!! We are all off to our new gym! Lets see how long this particular resolution lasts. Brilliant, as always. #DreamTeamJane Taylor recently posted…Happy New Year, Happy New Year’s resolutions!

Haha love this, I’m feeling exactly the same. The baby weight I managed to shift has all piled back on thanks to Christmas! I have still got a cupboard full of biscuits and chocolate to eat so there’s no point doing any dieting until that’s gone, looks like Christmas is going to be hanging around for a bit longer here xx #dreamteamWendy recently posted…My 2017 blogging goals and looking back on 2016

I’ve had to hide all the boxes of unopened biscuits and chocs in the garage. I’m quite good if things aren’t opened but once they are I have the willpower of a carrot! There’s no hope for me! Enjoy lovely. Happy New Year xx

Hee hee I polished off the last piece of Christmas cake off last night (washed down with a large glass of Merlot!) but there’s still SO MUCH STUFF. I’m quite happy to nibble my way through it until at least early Spring though, just in time for the Easter eggs 🙂 🙂 #dreamteamMess and Merlot recently posted…Lean in 15 (years!)

Hahaha I love it! Lindt truffles are my all time favourite! We’ve done nothing but eat, and still have so much chocolate left over, it would be rude not to finish it! #dreamteamfive little doves recently posted…The lessons I learned in 2016

lol, oh gosh that is classic! So funny, I don’t know how you do it so brilliantly! I just got back from a night in the city with hubby and we totally over indulged, in 3 weeks I have to get into a bathing suit when I go away with my 3 very slim, very tall, best friends!!!! I totally need to stop eating so much lolMackenzie Glanville recently posted…Habits to adopt for a happier 2017

I feel your pain. I had to wear a swimming costume on New Years Day. I’m sure it was definitely riding a bit further up my bum than is actually considered decent due to all the Christmas! ? Hope you had a fab time away lovely! X

So funny and true, although this year I have eaten very little thanks to being germ ridden. So looking forward to more rhymes in 2017, they never cease to bring a smile to my face. Thank you so much #DreamTeam xxxLisa recently posted…Tangled

Hahaha I love this and know exactly what you mean. I ate far too much cheese over the festive period. Luckily our fridge seems pretty empty now so it’s time to refill it with lots of veg and no cheese! #dreamteamKy recently posted…2017 Blogging + Life Goals

Brilliant, I love this! Sums up most people’s experiences with Christmas I imagine. I’m still trying to finish off all the Christmas chocolate but I bought so much it could take me all month x

I think I’m finally shaking it off now thanks Angela. I’ve also spent so much time on the sofa over this last few weeks! It’s nice to get out in the fresh air again. Thanks so much and happy new year to you x

Is it bad that I say reading this eating a chocolate Santa and drinking tea?! Suppose it could be worse, I could be drinking wine?! Or Baileys?! But I’ve got to get the bad stuff out of the house, right?!!!

Christmas is still clinging on for dear life in our household!! We’re fed up with the decorations still up but can’t be bothered to take them down yet! …..must do it before Easter 😉 #DreamTeam xBaby Isabella recently posted…Dear Mummy Blog 2016 Review and Infographic

I adore it and I’m already looking forward to the next one – but I think I actually prefer the looking forward to it more than the actual event? Once it’s done it needs to go forth and take my wobbly bits with it! ? Thank you x

Sounds like a right stalker ? Call the police may be or just keep the relationship going while the supermarkets have all there January bargains hehe #dreamteamFridgesays recently posted…Fortune favours the brave

I’m so fickle in that I cling onto it frantically between Christmas and New Year but once it’s the 2nd Jan it needs to be gone immediately! Good luck taking them all down this weekend. I found a little bit of leftover Baileys helped! 🙂 x

I’m totally with you here! So we still have a barrel of Celebrations on the go, a whole cupboard of snacks and more biscuits than I care to admit. It’s like Christmas is refusing to leave gah! Lovely poem as always – thank you for co-hosting #dreamteam with Annette and I xxBridie By The Sea recently posted…Where Is Home To You?

That’s the only thing with Christmas isn’t it? We always buy too much of everything just to make sure that we have a full selection at all times, and so we end up ploughing through the remains for weeks! Still it makes January more fun! ? Thank you for having me to co-host with you! It’s fab to be part of your #DreamTeam xx

You are so stinkin’ clever, I can hardly stand it! I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a woman who doesn’t feel the same. I have tucked my scales underneath a table in such a way that it will take REAL effort to free it. I also just realized last night when I went to put another bottle of wine into my wine fridge that THERE ARE NO MORE BOTTLES. What the hell? I bought Lord-knows-how-many magnums and they are ALL gone? I’d like to think that it was due to the company that we had, but in my heart of hearts, I know it was me.

Hahaha I love it! I’ve been trying my hardest to break my scales but the bloody things are defying all of my attempts and insist on telling me that all of the mince pies have indeed moved onto my ass and taken up permanent residence! Bleughh! Thank you for your fab comment – really made me smile! Xx

Oh my word what a lovely thing to read? I’ve just pointed this in my hubby’s face i’m THAT proud of it. I haven’t, but would blimmin love to … If I thought for one second I could convince them that I know what the fudge I’m actually doing? So much bloglove and actual love back at you. Thank you. x

Haha! This is so funny Dawn. Sorry it’s taken me so long to pop over to have a read. I know exactly what you mean about Christmas hanging in there. Our kitchen is still packed full of goodies. #DreamTeam xxAnnette, 3 Little Buttons recently posted…2016 – Smashed It

Aw thank you for popping by lovely. My hubby’s parents have just hosted a post Christmas dinner for the family which has helped clear out the last of their goodies. We’ve still got loads so we might have to host a post post Christmas feast! ? xx
